If all else fails, the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation has a page here where you can find individual states' laws about private/business restroom access for those with eligible conditions. Mass has a listing that has been explained in other links here, but this might be helpful for future trips elsewhere.

Yeah, hindsight my comment comes too idealistic. I didn't factor in demographics as a variable that could affect investment, sadly this also is part of my naivety.

I am aware of 1980's Roxbury, I lived just north of Boston Everett/Malden at the time. Those "empty lots" I mentioned all over Blue Hill and Washington, yeah I know these were not great places to be at that time. Progress, is stagnant empty grass lots but it's better than abandoned buildings with rampant drug use in each one. In short time, if done right these will revitalize the area and bring Boston into a new era.

Boston is small, so most of these places are near common touristy spots.

They setup a bathroom on the common when the weather gets a little warmer. But the big tip is still to find the nearest hotel which should never be far away.

I actually got my WfH job in 2019. Although my company is out of Wellesley. We just opened an office in Cambridge but I have yet to hear anything about it. I feel like no one works in there either and is more for business managing when we have audits and meetings and the like.

Once I got my job, covid didn't effect me at all. Was WfH before. Still WfH today.

Work in tech consulting. I asked my boss if I could work remote a few days a week in 2016, as my commute was 1.5hrs each way.

He said yes and I pretty much never came back. Been 100% remote, except on-site client work, since then.

Once Covid hit, 95% of the client work has also stayed remote. No client wants to pay for flights, hotel, food expenses anymore.
